It makes sense, as the whole theme is centered around building your own Jedi, which couldnвЂ™t be done with an established character, but the game is sorely lacking KatarnвЂ™s sarcastic tone and insulting jabs. Which makes Jedi AcademyвЂ™s decision to switch from him to a blank slate custom character an unfortunate one.

Secret Dark Trooper projects, family revelations, Dark Side crises, heвЂ™s been through it all and become the better for it. Over the course of the franchise weвЂ™ve seen him develop from a hardened mercenary into a true Jedi Master. ThereвЂ™s many highlights of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games, but the best has always been Kyle Katarn. YouвЂ™re not a merc anymore, youвЂ™re a Jedi. You get your lightsaber at the start of this game, and most people use it exclusively until the end. It should be noted that thereвЂ™s also the ability to use a variety of ranged weapons, but nobody plays this game like that. This, combined with the new custom character creator, allows you to build your Jedi in a way few other Star Wars games allow. Each come with their own set of styles that affect attack speed and moves available. You start off the game with the standard single saber, but during the campaign you will unlock both duel-wielding and double-bladed variants.

The biggest additions are weapon types and styles. Lightsaber combat is phenomenal, a clear step-up from Jedi Outcast. TheyвЂ™re just so damn cool.ДЇirst, the great things. Your first order of business in Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy to customize your blade, the wet dream of most Star Wars fans, yours truly included.
